[For Seniors] August Wall Decoration Idea Collection
August is still in the height of the heat.
Many quintessential summer events, such as fireworks festivals, beach outings, and summer fairs, are held during this time.
We’d love for older adults—who often find it difficult to go out—to feel the season as well.
So this time, we’re sharing ideas for August wall decorations.
Seeing summer-themed decorations inside the facility may evoke memories, such as time spent with family in the past, and could serve as a form of reminiscence therapy.
Some older adults lead days with few changes and may find it hard to sense the seasons.
By feeling summer through seasonal decorations and recalling enjoyable events and activities from the past, it may help improve quality of life.
Try brightening up your facility with wall decorations that evoke the image of summer.

Authentic morning glory made with five sheets of origami
Let’s make a beautiful three-dimensional morning glory! You’ll use five sheets of origami to create one bloom, so the difficulty may be a bit high.
Make five parts, then assemble and glue them together.
To prevent the glue from coming off, it’s a good idea to hold the pieces in place with clips or clothespins as you work.
For the finishing touch, slightly fold the rim to give the morning glory a 3D look.
You can also change the size of the sheets to make morning glories in different sizes—give it a try!

Shaved ice wall decoration
In summer, you can find all kinds of shaved ice—luxurious versions loaded with fruit, Japanese-style varieties, and ones with a fluffy texture! In recent years, stylish cafes and specialty shops offering rich shaved ice have even become a hot topic.
Shaved ice also makes a perfect motif for summer wall decorations.
It brings a cool, refreshing vibe, so try making some together with seniors for a fun activity.
Another plus is that just changing the syrup color can create a vibrant, colorful display.
There aren’t many paper parts to cut out either, so it’s an easy theme to craft.
If a shaved ice alone feels a bit plain, add elements like a traditional “kakigōri” banner or an old-fashioned ice shaver for an extra charming touch!
Sunflower wreath
Here’s a sunflower wreath idea that will instantly brighten up your room.
First, prepare a paper plate.
Cut out the center to turn it into a wreath base.
Next, decorate the paper-plate wreath by wrapping it with construction paper and adding ribbons.
Finally, adorn it with sunflowers made from construction paper.
The yellow color will make a great accent in your room, and it will also create a cheerful atmosphere if you display it by your front door.
Sunflower wall decoration
Here’s an idea for sunflower wall decorations that will instantly brighten up your summer walls! Sunflowers are the quintessential summer flower—many of us may have grown them in our gardens as children.
Why not enjoy making these while reminiscing about those days? Layer two sheets of tissue paper, fold them in an accordion, staple the center to secure, trim both ends, and then fan it open to create the sunflower petals.
For the center of the sunflower, you can cut a circle out of construction paper and add patterns with crayons or other materials.
Depending on the size of your wall, use sunflowers as accents or make lots of them to create a stunning large display!
ice pop
Let’s make an ice pop out of origami—an essential treat for hot summer days.
Using a single sheet of paper, we’ll create the base for the whole piece.
By forming solid overlaps, you’ll achieve a three-dimensional look with the stick appearing to be inserted into the ice.
After that, just layer various colors and decorations inspired by real ice pops, and you’re done.
As you recall the flavors you crave in the summer heat, train your creativity by thinking about how to recreate them in design.
Because it’s simple, there’s plenty of room for playful customization.
Ice cream wall decoration
Everyone loves it! This is a wall decoration featuring ice cream that you’ll feel like eating once summer arrives.
Just looking at the cute ice creams is soothing, isn’t it? Ice cream comes in many shapes—served in a glass, bars, cups, soft-serve, and more.
Think about a design that suits the space and the room’s atmosphere.
It could be fun to make it while chatting with seniors about their favorite flavors or nostalgic ice creams from the past.
You might decorate with lots of colorful ice cream, or add animals that pair well with ice cream, like polar bears and penguins, for a playful touch!
dolphin
Let’s make an adorable dolphin out of origami to brighten up the vast ocean.
When you think of dolphins, blue or gray often come to mind, but one of the perks of origami is that you can use any colors you like.
The process involves aligning with the diagonal creases and shaping it into a triangle, and paying close attention to the corners is important for a beautiful finish.
You can make a straight-shaped dolphin that looks like it’s floating in the sea, or add angles partway through to create a sense of movement—that could be a fun touch as well.
